The Tuula vintage situation just isn’t sitting right with me either. The last time she was on Instagram they raised over 200 000 for their daughter and disappeared off social media for years, now she pops back up out of nowhere asking for more money. Someone in the comments asked where her husband is and got slammed for it but it’s a very valid questions when you’re asking for money from strangers.

Actually I just thought I’m sure she had a Go Fund Me previously.

I have watched a bit of Lauren’s video about her partner being sick and I’m already eye rolling. Oh men just don’t go to the doctor and why would he tell the doctor everything that’s going on with him and his illnesses, the doctor should know the questions to ask. That’s ridiculous. As someone with an autoimmune disease, that’s the first thing I tell a doctor if they aren’t my regular doctor and what medications I’m on so they can be on the right track. Gp doctors aren’t specialists. I would have gone to my gp who is my regular doctor which he should have if he’s got a chronic illness and therefore they would be familiar with his file. And then looped in my specialist as well so they are aware as they know whether it’s drug induced, whether to stop or hold off in the medications etc. I don’t know if I can keep watching, it’s pretty frustrating.

Totally agree with the Tuula Vintage asking for money again. Seems she (or a family member or friend) only pops up on socials when she wants money.

It is awful what she and her daughter are going through, but if one of us who isn't an influencer, and we went online to ask for a GoFundMe for the same thing - there is no way anyone would contribute to ours, especially an 'influencer'

Tuula still has almost 2 million followers she could do some sponsored posts and wouldn’t need a go fund me.. unless she really is that sick I guess. But either way she should be so grateful to have got $235 000 the first time around, to come back asking for more is shameful.

Just off the top of my head I can think of Yarli creative GFM scam, little lulu love questionable use of GFM $, now these two. I would never donate to an influencer tbh. I give to selected GFMs, I don’t have a problem with crowdfunding in certain scenarios though I think a fair chunk are ridiculous. But influencers have such a dodgy track record it would have to be one I know personally/could verify the story was true before I gave away my $$.

It’s discussed a bit on her thread, but basically people thought the GFM would be used for support for Lulu after her surgery and while Erin was pregnant/new baby. Erin cancelled the surgery, her baby is now 1 and no word of where the money has gone. They also have an NDIS funded support worker. I think the wording was sufficiently vague, but people were lead to believe they were supporting with Lu’s surgery and that never happened.

Thanks for the quick rundown, I didn’t realise she had her own thread! Off to find it now!

What a bleeping nightmare. I feel so sorry for Andrea how do you pay your sister back for a month of baby sitting?!?
I can’t imagine dumping my kids on someone else for that long, especially when they have their own kids. I don’t even know who they are :ROFLMAO: Just from this thread

$44k from 1000 people in like a day. Insane

That Tuula Vintage post seemed like a massive whinge, anger at the system which may or may not have been justified but for me it wasn’t clear what they wanted to raise money for. It was all very angry and I would never give money for something that was so unhinged.

The post she made on insta does not explain much what is going on.
She or her cousin pretty much says Jess is unwell and needs help, here is the gofundme page.

What these people think their followers are?!? cash cows.

Jess has over 1m followers sure she could have made enough money by now to fund her and her son’s hospital expenses.

I don’t feel sorry for these influencers, cause when life is great they are all posting pictures of their vacations and expensive stuff but when things go wrong they cry poor.

If you need money get a loan from the bank. But that no one wants cause a lot of people are lazy and wants free money, they don’t wanna have to pay back.
